The menu also features other authentic Indonesian delicacies such as the local seafood and kangkung (kelor) soup etc. the food is hot and generous helpings of pepper and chilly are used to season the food. Chilly sauce is a main ingredient in most Lombok dishes though guests used to bland fare may request do away with it.
